a note from Andrew: “According to the certificate trading team, Green Energy Trading has excluded wood waste from certificate creation (as a standard provision). This is due to wood waste certificates trading at a discount and have a far less liquid market. Hence, unfortunately, GET does not trade in wood waste -generated electricity certificates.”
